If you have recently recovered your computer and need to reinstall VIPRE, the process is straightforward. Here are the steps you need to follow to reinstall VIPRE after a computer recovery:
1. Locate your VIPRE product key: Before reinstalling VIPRE, you will need to locate your product key. This key is essential for activating your software after installation. You can typically find the product key in the email receipt or on the back of the CD case if you purchased a physical copy.
2. Uninstall any existing VIPRE software: If you had VIPRE installed on your computer before the recovery, it is essential to uninstall any remnants of the previous installation.

5. Enter your product key: During the installation process, you will be prompted to enter your VIPRE product key. Enter the key accurately, ensuring there are no typos or mistakes. This key validates your purchased license and activates the software.
6. Complete the installation: After entering your product key, the installation process will continue. Follow any additional prompts and instructions to complete the installation.
7. Update VIPRE: Once the installation is complete, it is crucial to update your VIPRE software to ensure you have the latest virus definitions and security patches. Launch the VIPRE application and navigate to the settings or preferences menu. Look for an option to check for updates and initiate the update process.
